What Trump Calls "Great," All 50 State Directors of Medicaid Say Is Terrible
With nearly unheard of consensus, and despite assurances from serial liar President Donald Trump that the bill is actually “great” and would “help people,” all 50 state Medicaid directors have signed on to a letter denouncing Republicans’ latest effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
“Our members are committed to ensuring that the programs we operate improve health outcomes while also being fiscally responsible to state and federal taxpayers,” reads the letter (pdf) published Thursday by the National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD).
“We are concerned that this legislation would undermine these efforts in many states and fail to deliver our collective goal of an improved healthcare system,” it continues, outlining why the Republicans’ proposal, coauthored by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.), is flawed and echoing concerns that Congressional Budget Office will not have time to fully analyze the bill’s impacts until after the vote planned for next week.
